Ive shot some ugly coyotes but that looks like one step above a hairless dog!

Poor nasty creature.

For a picture look on Wikipedia. The mites are tiny little monsters living in the upper layers of the skin, including yours. Some research suggests we gave them to canids. Check out a recent National Geographic for some amazing pictures and more facts than you want to read.
Very common, very invasive.

Post by: AntlerHound on February 23, 2015, 09:44:10 PM: If you do kill it..I believe your supposed to burn for disposal as it can be spread. I think it can be spread through the animals feces as well. A buddy of mine killed one like that out of Ione.
